The Emergence of Malarum Blattae: Tan and Ina

Hey guys.
You all apa kabar? Its been a while... Anyway, Ina got lost 3 weeks a go . Man , I was totally freaked out and kinda down... My little fella was gone missing for the whole 3 weeks. Ina just completely vanished from my sight. I ve searched everywhere for her; in the drawer, behind the wardrobe and in fact under my bed but still no signs of her....On top of that, the most terrible thing happened was; Tan was gone missing too... I was double and superduper scared.. What if I couldnt find them and everthing turned out to be a mating time... Walla weii! That thought drove me crazy for 3 days... And everyday, I kept starrring at the empty aquarium... Still the sillhouetes of Tan and Ina floating across my mind... But.. Allah servat me!!hehe.. Thank god... after 3 days went missing, finally I found Tan, the big fat roach, back. He was crawling around the mattress. Tan, you caused a lot of trouble la.. I grabbed and picked him up and put it back in the aqua..where he belonged to.. I started to wonder how they could managed to escape though there were no cracks or holes. Suddenly, aha! there was a little crack about 1 cm width. wah,, Tan and Ina were so unique that they could squeeze themselves out through that puny crack. Well, actually, there was no lid for the aqua. I only used chopping plate and a book to cover it over. Can consider my fault la..So, if u left any crack even about 1 cm width, u would end up seeing your roaches vanish. Well at least that would be a lesson to me... Ok fine, at last I found Tan.. but how about Ina? I embarked again the search for Ina but fracking no signs of her anymore.. Perhaps, she left me and Tan for good... So, I started to forget Ina knowing her would die out there.. on one condition la..If she didnt cross breed with her far far relatives, the american brotherhood roaches la...So, I just shared my love with Tan alone; feeding him with banana, apple, cat food, potato and bread.. But seriously, he enjoyed strongly banana and potato lol. After 3 weeks in the big aqua alone with no mate, I realized he was depressed because he stopped eating food, not sure if he was gonna molt.. Yet, I changed him into a small aqua yesterday.. And to my surprise, when I was tiding up my table, suddenly Ina appeared right in front of me. walla weis, miracle, she didnt leave the place wakaka.. I thanked Allah so much for letting us meet up once again.. I immediately grabbed her and placed her in the small aqua with Tan.. A couple of minutes after being released, I dont know, some kind of pheromones from Ina that attracted Tan's attention and so he rushed out from his hidding place towards Ina and finally, they became united once more.. OOo so sweet....what a happy ending...So, the emergence of Ina back after 3 weeks went missing has sparked a spirit in myself to share my love, joy and experience with Ina and Tan again.. I sprayed the coconut bedding and fed them with banana..They were all happy and enjoyed the food once more.. What I hope is that they grow big and do not sneak out again...

-THE END-
